There are surely going to be significant unintended consequences if we move at an irrational pace & my fear is that those consequences will outweigh the benefits. You echo my view that words of caution come from a "commitment to a long term solution," not out of being a skeptical obstructionist. Good work.

It was my "window" in my office during my AG days. Great book. I also like Yertle the Turtle and the turtle that sneezed and brought down a king. Kids stories and characters can really speak volumes quickly. I actually have a signed print of the Lorax. It was my “window” in my office during my AG days. Great book.

The first is The Lorax. The second is the story "King Looie Katz" from the book "I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today". I can still remember being 3-4 and emphathizing with the last little cat that had enough and slammed the bigger cat's tail to the ground, and the simple elegance of each cat carrying their own tail still speaks to me. I just love watching my 4 year old son inhale the same magic.<br><br>I think those metaphors are wonderful and evocative and persuasive and connecting the problems we face and how we can overcome them.<br><br>(PS - log-in weirdness for some reason ...)

I think those metaphors are wonderful and evocative and persuasive and connecting the problems we face and how we can overcome them.
